'Lays out a clearer path about how to stop avoiding failure and take smarter risks.’ Books of the Year, Financial Times
We used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we're often told that failure is desirable - that we must ‘fail fast, fail often’.
The trouble is, neither approach distinguishes the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well. Here, Amy Edmondson – the world’s most influential organisational psychologist – reveals how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right.
Drawing on four decades of research into the world’s most effective organisations, she unveils the three archetypes of failure – basic, complex and intelligent - and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good ones (and eliminate the bad). Along the way, she poses a simple, provocative question: What if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to succeed truly?
Take this for a spin!
You know that feeling when the room is spinning? We've all been there, whether it's from too many after-work drinks or from the Springboks beating the Irish at Loftus this past weekend.
For our newly appointed Sports, Arts, and Culture Minister, Gayton McKenzie, spinning is not only the sensation of winning but also the next big sports craze. McKenzie wants to make car spinning the biggest sport in South Africa. And he's not just stopping there - he's got his sights set on making it an Olympic sport!
